Corporate Social Responsibility

At the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber Physical Systems (RBCCPS), was established to support University research in fundamental and applied research on Cyber Physical Systems (or Internet of Things), with a view of creating technologies, products and intellectual properties. CPS is an emerging interdisciplinary area that brings together advances in distributed sensing, wireless communication, networking, computing, controlling physical devices, algorithms and other allied technologies. The research and development activities of the Centre are organized around verticals (applications areas) and laterals (enabling technologies).

Currently RBCPS is focusing on verticals such as Water, energy and healthcare which are the main challenges for India. The Centre is an entity within IISc and interacts with industries as well as government and non-government research organizations, to pursue innovative technology products that are likely to have significant impact on society. The Centre will serve entire industry and is expected to be one of the top three centers in the world in this domain.
